About this Gig

Do you have a sci-fi or fantasy novel ready for that last step before publication? My goal is to offer proofreading that is friendly towards authors with tight budgets.


My preference is to work with fantasy novels, but I'll work on most forms of fiction as well.


I will check your document for:

~Spelling

~Grammar

~Word usage



If you haven't gone through the editing process, this service may not be right for you at this time. I won't turn you away, but there's a chance you won't get the full benefit from it as you would with an edited manuscript.


Before you hire me, please note that I offer a free sample to all new clients. I will do a proofread of your first chapter (or the prologue if your book starts there). As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. My inbox is always open.


Note: It is against my policy to work with material created with help from AI programs such as ChatGPT.

    Melissa knocks it out of the park again, this time with an activity book for boys ages 8-12, my first activity book for children. She tackled the puzzles with enthusiasm, tested them against the solutions, and made sure the wording throughout the book was consistent and correct. Another stellar performance. Thanks, Melissa!

    Melissa went above and beyond with my manuscript. She delivered more than a week ahead of her projected delivery date, and her feedback was closer to a light copy edit than a simple proofread. Melissa is also a delight to work with. She is polite, responsive, and respectful. I couldn't recommend her more.

    Melissa had proofread my entire 9-book fantasy series, but now I asked her to switch to nonfiction, and she delivered in a big way. She is versatile and has an eye for detail that a writer needs to succeed. If you have a fiction or nonfiction project that needs proofreading, look no further than Melissa. Top notch work!
